And yet, though roughly 50% of the human race is female every industry is male dominated on every level from concept to audience...?

That's a matter of male/female equality in pay and work opportunity, which is not what I was talking about. It's not really that odd for more men to be making career as opposed to women who often choose to have children around the time they're 30, which slows down their career significantly. Men don't have this problem as much and, in turn for women having children, are deemed to provide for their family. They may be old values and stuff, but that's how things work. The majority of women simply don't want to invest more into their career after having had children.
Objectification is a really really really ambiguous thing that means different things to different people. To me objectification is something along the lines of a guy demanding a hot girl have sex with him because she's 'dressed like a slut and that's what she's at the party for'. For me it has absolutely nothing to do with checking out a girl and deciding for myself that she's attractive. Because that's a natural thing that everyone does, consciously or subconsciously, all the time. With everyone we meet.
And I'm not kidding, everyone does it. Men and women, there have been studies on this. When you see a person your eyes will be instantly checking out their sexual attractive regions whether you realize that or not. It's a part of human nature that can't possibly be branded as objectification.
Someone finding your body attractive should never ever be an insult. Not under any circumstance. The fact that to some people this IS an insult indicates to me that there's something very wrong with our society. And that might just have its roots back in the old morals and values of religion (which did and still does an amazing job at actually and truly objectifying women, by the way. Head scarfs and Burka's anyone? And the bible has its own share of passages that seriously oppress women).
